Pre-Race Report : East London

The BikeFin Honda Racing Team is warming up for the 6th Round of the South African Supersport Championship in East London at the ultra fast Grand Prix track. After the victorious 1-2-3 of the team in Port Elizabeth, the team has no lesser intention than to replicate the same result in East London. Team owner Anassis “it’s going to be tough to get the same result as in PE as this track is very fast with front straight being 1.5km long, we know the other bikes have power over us and handling does not play as big enough role when all you need to do is hang on the cable 80% of the time around this track”

Lance Isaacs had a massive boost with his double victory and to him; East London will be "Flat Out, Head Down, Bum Up" race to the line! Brent Harran has been enjoying a Holiday in Cape Town after concluding his exams and had ample of time to “focus on his training and racing.” Brent has been waiting for his maiden victory the entire season and he will do whatever it takes to fight for the win. Clint Seller, currently second in the championship standing, has a clear shot for the lead with just 3 points behind the leader. “Coming home from East London with the lead in the championship” is his simple target. The boys are renowned for their extreme late breaking at the very fast Grand Prix Track. Angolan champion Sandro Carvalho had a solid recovery of his shoulder injury and is “thrilled to go out on the fastest track of the year.” Although it is his first time out on the track, Sandro has shown that he has the speed to master it. With four races to go in the Supersport Championship. First practice is Friday 2nd August and the team will report live from the track with all the inside action... Bring it on!
